SPRINKLING-NOZZLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 24, 1915.

Application led January 29, 1914. Serial No. 815,318.

vnozzle especially designed for use in 'connection with a sprinklingsystem to be installed in connection with a lawn that is required to bewatered by artificial means.

The nozzle will be hereinafter particularly described and illustrated inthe drawings in connection with a. sprinkling system. In theaccompanying drawings forming la part of this specification Figure 1 isa plan view of a sprinkling system embodying my invention, Fig. 2, is a.side elevation of the same, Fig. 3, is a broken-away side elevation ofone of the spraying nozzles, Fig. 4, is

la top plan view of one of the nozzles, Fig. 5,

is a vertical sectional view of one of the nozzles taken on the line5--5 of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6, is an elevation of a broken-away portion ofthe pipe line to which is connected a portion having an upwardlyprojecting conduit to which the nozzle is attached.

In a detail description of the mechanism in which like parts arereferred to by like numerals throughout the several vie-ws, an ordinarywater. supply pipe 1() is connected, as at 11, with a horizontallydisposed` distributing pipe 12 set a short distance beneath the surfaceof the earth 13. The nozzles 14 are connected with and reach upwardlyfrom the distributing pipe v12 their top portions 15 being on a levelwith the surface of the earth 13.

Centrally disposed in the top 15 of the nozzles 14 are openings 16.Vertical utes 17 are provided in the wall 18 surrounding the opening 16.The openings 16 are beveled at 19 as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, and plugs20 are made to snugly it the openings 16, the same having verticallyarranged portions 21 and beveled portions 22. Flanges 23 at the base ofthe plugs 22 prevent them from passing through the openings 16 and pipe12 direct or attached to tubular con` duits 24 which in turn areconnected with the pipe 12 or to inserts 25 joined to the pipe 12 asshown in Fig. 6.

A cut-ori valve 26 is located between the water supply pipe 10 and theconnection 11 leading to the distributing pipe 12. The distributing pipe12 should be set. at a slight angle as shown in Fig. 2 with a drain cock27 stationed at its lowest point in order that the water may be drainedfrom the pipe 12, to prevent damage to the pipe from freezing, etc.

When the valve 26 is opened and water 'allowed to run into thedistributing pipe 12,

the same passes upwardly through the conduits 24 and into the nozzles14, striking against the bottoms of the plugs 20 forcing the sameupwardly to theposition shown by the dotted lines 28 in Fig. 3. When thevalve is cut-ofi' and the water recedes from the plugs 20, the plugsfall by gravity to the position shown in Figs. 5 and 6, thus coveringthe openings 16 as well as the vertical fiuting 17 preventing dirt orother substance getting into the pipe 12 and leaving an unobstructedpath for a lawn mower.

.As shown in the drawings the fluting 17 completely encircles theopenings 16, conse- 1,7 may be provided only part way aroundthe openings16 thereby limiting the spraying iield to what is desired.

The snug iit of the plugs 20 in the openings 16 prevents the flow ofwater' only through the fluting 17.

While 1 have illustrated the use of the nozzle in connection with aparticularly described sprinkling system, it is understood that it isthe nozzle upon which 1 claim protection andwhich may be used inconnection with any suitable means for sprinkling or spraying.

hat 1 claim is,

A. nozzle having an opening therein, the wall surrounding such openingbeing beveled at the upper portion thereof and verti- 'cal at the bottomportion thereof,'sueh 'vertical portion having iuting therein, a plug insaid opening adapted to fit the same and having a portlon extending overand covering said fiuting, together with a flange at the base of saidplug adapted to engage the wall of said opening at the base thereof toprevent the separation of the plug and the nozzle. l v In testimonywhereof I affix my slgnature 1n presence of two witnesses. v
